He is the literal GOAT and defending champ.
those are national shows. We have won 5 games the last 2 seasons. The masses would change the channel if these national shows devoted too much time to Carolina.
Seriously. It’s Tom f’n Brady going into one of the most anticipated regular season matchups of the year in what is potentially an NFCCG preview. Of course, that’s going to dominate the discussion.

The contract isn’t even that bad. He can be cut after next year with only a $4M dead money hit.
If it really came down to it he could probably be traded next offseason without too much damage.
Its also not like he’s unplayable. His time will come.

Sewell has played RT more than Decker played RT. Khalil Mack was put on the map going up against Decker at RT. LOL
Was that Decker during Mack’s coming out party when he was at Buffalo? Did not remember that. Either way the Lions will and should try to make both of them work for bookend tackles before considering shipping out Decker.
-
I think I’m ok with up to 4 years for 60M. 15M/year is about right for a top 15 pass rusher and that takes him through his age 31 season. As long as there is a good out after year 3 with limited dead money I think that’s reasonable. If he is getting offered close to 20M then I say “good luck and get paid.”
-
He also hasn't been allowed in the facility or to have any contact with the team while suspended so missing all of that time in meetings and practice in addition to this being a short week allowing less time than normal to catch up likely played a role as well.

The Lions are for sure going to try and make it work with both Decker and Sewell before even thinking about a trade. Sewell wasn't good in the preseason at RT but maybe the light is on now that it's the regular season. Alternatively, they could certainly put Decker at RT which is a position he played previously in college. Having two stud tackles would be the ideal situation and it's not like Decker would be overpaid as a RT since they are pretty much in line with LT salaries these days.
Trading Jackson isn't the craziest thing, but only if Fitterer is 100% sure he isn't going to re-sign/franchise him for what is certain to be a very big contract and Bouye regains his 2018 form as a good starter.

He's washed and we have zero need for him. They just want to dump the contract. Lions would take a 2037 conditional 9th round pick.

Hopefully Fitt is working on his extension now. Pay this man!
I'd be offering him 4 years/$45-50M right now and hoping he takes because it could easily be $60M+ by the end of the season if he stays close to on course with his current production.
Although I'm not sure he can sign an extension right now. There is some rule about modifying a contract that was signed in the same year and I think this would fall into that. Would have to be done after the Super Bowl I believe.

YouTube TV has NFLN but not sure on what their current free trial situation is

Correct, the idea of players taking discounts is pretty much a fantasy fans like to dream about. In reality players are/should be looking out for there own financial best interest and I don’t blame anyone for doing so.
They are willing to take some discounts but what a player thinks is a discount and what fans think is a discount is a gulf as wide as an ocean. To a fan, a discount on a $15M/year contract offer is $10M/year to stay where he is. To a player, it’s like $14.75M/year

With regards to him taking a discount, I will believe when I see it. Really can’t see Reddick taking any sort of major discount to stay. This will be his one and probably only chance to cash in to last him for the rest of his life. He should take the highest guaranteed number he is offered.

I thought somewhere it was said his deal was "ACTUALLY" for multi years? Or had a clause in it?
Those are all void years so he’s a free agent after this year

. Tyrod is a serviceable backup. Nothing more. As far as talent goes Reid is the best football player on that team and it’s not close
QB is 9000x more important than a safety. I don’t care if they lost prime Ed Reed and their backup was Haruki Nakamura, the drop off from Tyrod to a raw rookie that has no business starting is a much bigger loss.

That’s actually their biggest loss as he’s the best player on that entire team
Gonna go with the starting QB that was playing well being out as their biggest loss

Not having paid too much attention to PFF what grade is considered elite?
90 is elite, 80 is great, 70 is good, 60 is average and so on
very few players actually get a 90 for an entire year. The large majority of players are in the 50-79 range

I agree with this. The best play Kamara made against us last weekend was picking up a block on Brian Burns. Kamara got run the phuk over but it was a great play. CMC, Kamara and a few others are the exception
Zeke Elliott is another one. The backup RB, Pollard, is outperforming him when they hand the ball off but a major reason Zeke is still the main guy and gets the majority of the snaps is because he is a great pass blocker while Pollard is not.

Maybe if our OL ever gets sorted out it will not be as bad. Then we may not need TEs and RBs to help block as much.
You are always going to need RBs to block. A RBs need to block really has nothing to do with how good the OL is because they aren’t there to cover for OL mistakes. RBs are needed to block based on the number of rushers and where they are coming from. Any DC can dial up a pressure that forces a RB to be a blocker just by sending blitzers.
The offense really only has two choices, hit a hot route before the extra rusher gets home or block the extra rusher with a RB.

RBs that can pass block are rare especially young ones. It’s basically not done or taught in college especially in spread systems so most come into the league with no clue how to do it.

Sam (if he keeps it up and other QBs drop out like they always do)
Underrated choice.
Brady, Rodgers, Wilson and Stafford probably all say screw it and turn down invites. Ryan probably does too if he has a chance. Wouldn't be surprised if Dak or Cousins turn down an invite as well. That leaves very little competition for Sam if he wants to go even if he's like the 7th alternate. Hell, Trubisky made the pro bowl one year because of a similar situation.

Na I'm saying its ignorance to get upset at it. Our fanbase is known for not understanding some basic poo like that. They got a lot of players that already know/fit the scheme too and it helps get off to such a fast start.
Ah ok I gotcha and yes I agree that it likely makes the transition super easy for the young guys which is great while rebuilding it through the draft.

Its ignorance...lots of college offenses now...how you fuging suppose college defense wasn't going to come through too
It's factual and yes they were bound to come through eventually but I'm fairly sure we are really one of the first that has taken a college style defense to the NFL so it is unique in the NFL and to former players and analysts that's the easiest way for them to describe it.

Christian McCaffrey to miss "a few weeks"
in Carolina Panthers

It's just a pulled hamstring lol, season ending was never on the table
Worst case was 6-8 weeks. Sounds like it's just a minor strain and they are looking at 2-3 weeks out
